Hello, friends.  Have you ever journaled?  I have, and really enjoy it.  But lately, I've been busy art-making for my Red Bubble site ( https://www.redbubble.com/people/LauraCLeMaster/portfolio ) and have neglected my journals.  Plus, I've been writing a book, which took much of my time.
     But, as a creative, I get bored easily.  I now find myself ready for a break from writing my book (good timing, as the manuscript is finished!).  I hear my journal calling.  I don't yet art journal, although that method of art making and creative expression is beckoning me, too.  But I have a "regular journal" that says "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.  Live the life you've imagined" on the cover.  Thoreau wrote that.  It inspires me.  It resonates with me.  I calls me to do exactly that:  believe in my dreams.  Do whatever it takes to make them happen.  And actually live the life I've imagined.
     It's an exciting place to be.  My empty pages await....
